Stop by and have a laugh from Manic Mom's Mental Myriads on Motherhood, and some other stuff too, but mostly motherhood, wifehood, thoughts on writing, etc. No politics will be discussed here or geography, and I will not be solving any mathematical equations. Just some BS on whatever I feel like blogging on...

So, a friend of mine (cuz I've met her and now she's my friend, right Amy?) has written this really, really cool memoir about her "ordinary life." There are some very thought-provoking entries on using Q-tips, toweling off, getting married, having children, purple flowers, etc. She takes each letter of the alphabet and has written something profoundly eye-opening that details part of her life, and quite possibly could parallel parts of yours too.

Check out her website, and be prepared to visit it for a while because it will draw you in and pull you away from the mundane things you're currently doing--laundry, sex, etc. And when you realize you like what you see, drop me a comment on this post, and one of you will receive a signed copy of her book, and you can have Amy write whatever you want her to in it before she mails it to you.

Now that I am a fan of your blog :)I've been checking every so often. Thanks for this website. I am going to spend some time reading more, cause if I don't get dinner ready my family is going to start a war against me!

I just read a few excerpts. I was smiling and now I sit here like a deer in headlights. Stunned. I'm in awe. I just read her husbands one and wow. She's got a book, huh? I need to read it. Amazing. Just amazing. I have to go cook dinner now, but will read more later tonight. Thanks for sharing her with us. :)

Aren't they beautiful excerpts. Wait til you read the whole book! I'm keeping track of you all who write comments and will make sure to let you know when I do the drawing. Amy's going to be thrilled to hear you all enjoy her site!

Hi Steph,Tell Amy I love the idea of an encyclopedia of life -- great excerpt on dying. I thought I was the only one with such morbid thought patterns!!!!Anyway, Amy has a nice site, nice work, and a nice way with words. (my thesaurus is lost! :)doreen
